What is at stake for Liverpool and Sunderland?

There are no real consequences for either team given pre-season results are rarely an indicator of how a campaign might unfold.

However, Liverpool boss Iraola will be desperate to leave a strong impression on fans considering he was identified as the perfect replacement for Arne Slot.

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris will not be particularly concerned if his team loses, and he will be more focused on preparing the Black Cats for their coming 2026-27 campaign, which will see them compete in the Europa League.
